I do have a cinder block in the center they can swim into ~ I keep hoping that will give them enough protection but I don't know?<br />I just put both my solar panels over my little pond so it's safe now for winter.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-39512141787702563322010-11-19T15:26:14.159-08:002010-11-19T15:26:14.159-08:00Those little pansies look so nice there.

She has since created a place the fish can swim into for protection. Kind of a fish cave. I've also heard of putting netting at the top of the water in a pond. I don't know if that one works but the fish cave is good for a cattle tank.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-55619540036361044932010-11-17T11:28:57.548-08:002010-11-17T11:28:57.548-08:00Oh, Catherine, your gardens are still so full &...Oh, Catherine, your gardens are still so full & beautiful.
